    The man will do anything to claim moral victory. He knows he can't beat a Guardiola team in possession so he has to invent a new meaningless stat to show how great we are. Because obviously the expected goals are more important than actual goals. Everyone knows that.

    The real joke is that we didn't even beat City in that meaningless stat

    Look everyone we're 0.1 away from them!

    'Expected goals' is a statistic used to work out how many goals should be scored in a match, with every shot taken given an 'expected goal' value based on the difficulty of the attempt.

    Based on a number of factors including distance from goal, type of shot and number of defenders, the 'expected goal' value reveals the likelihood a specific shot will end in a goal; the higher the value, the more likely a goal should be scored from that shot
    The 'expected goal' value of every shot in a game is used to calculate the 'expected goals' (xG) of a match
    At this rate we'll be Expected champions

    Not according to OPTA. We got an even bigger thrashing according to this new stat. Fake news fail. I wonder if somebody can check back to see if we have won the title in the last decade based on expected goals? Maybe we have. Maybe that's what he got the pay rise for. Maybe that's what Ivan meant when he said we've been giving our rivals a good kicking. Maybe we don't even need to play the games any more? If we already know what to expect.

    Of course the fans have known what to expect for a long time now.

    We are through the looking glass with Wenger. Wenger Wonderland indeed.

    Above my pay grade. Let the maestro work it all out and then announce whatever triumphs emerge.

    If Wenger isn't careful some people might begin to turn against him.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
